Consumer Reports: Chains

The July issue of Consumer Reports magazine has the annual chain-restaurants ratings, with categories including Barbecue, Mexican, Steakhouses, and “Unique”–a bizarre category that includes PF Chang’s, California Kitchen and The Melting Pot. No fast food on this list, just fast-casual and high-end chains.

Results were based on over 70,000 responses to CR’s Restaurant Satisfaction Survey between April 2007 and April 2008. Criteria included Taste, Value, Service, Mood and Choice.

lex – I’m not sure where you’ve been eating or what constitutes a great restaurant in your opinion, but you should try to get out to independent restaurants like Fruition, Olivea, Rioja, New Saigon, Elway’ Vesta, Marco’s Coalfired Pizza, Duo and other before you post more laughable statements on the state of Denver dining.
